Sickening Documentation

The "traditional" DEC way of dealing with this is to have pockets on all the spines and put cardboard identifiers in each one indicating which volume it is. If you go to a well-stocked office supply store, you'll find similar sized pockets that are self adhesive and which you can stick to the spines of your new manuals, and them label everything appropriately. All the way back to white, eh? My old TOPS-20 manual set (from mid-to- late-70's) is in white binders... Within a day or two of the announced merger, all the faxes I got from DEC began reading "Compaq" at the top! Incidentally, there are several places on the net where the OpenVMS documentation is browsable. For starters, you can go to http://www.openvms.digital.com/ and click on "Documentation". It looks like the Cluster manuals and DECnet manuals are there. Of course, electronic docs are not nearly as satisfying as a "grey wall" (or, as it seems to be now, white), but it can come in handy in a pinch. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
